Manuscripts
Letter to the editor of the Norwich Weekly Courier, a short-lived iteration of the paper that was under the ownership of D.E. Sykes, shortly before it was taken over by Henry Clay Kinne (1830-1910) in August 1860. The piece, a part of a rather testy exchange with the Republican editorial board, appeared in the July 26, 1860 issue of the paper. The handwritten manuscript is 22 pages.
